Writers need to have motivation and a passion for their work to keep them going.  It takes tremendous persistence to break through a dense consciousness and communicate your thoughts in a meaningful way. But in addition to wanting to write, perhaps a nearly equal quality that writers need is organizational skills.  To find time for writing in such a hectic world with its blaring sounds and images, you have to be able to keep your focus.

One thing that helps us is a list for the day.  Like everyone else, we don't manage to get to everything we planned, but having a list and putting details about what tasks will forward our writing project allows us to communicate with each other and feel a sense of accomplishment.  Small writing jobs gradually build up until we complete big projects.

How could you organize your writing life and time better today?

Remember, life is your page.
